The optimal time for trekking in the Annapurna region and scaling Tent Peak is during the autumn months of September to November. With moderate temperatures and clear skies, autumn provides ideal conditions for trekking and mountaineering. Advance booking is recommended due to the popularity of this season.

Alternatively, the spring months of March to May offer a kaleidoscope of colors as rhododendron trees bloom, painting the hillsides in vibrant hues. For first-time mountaineers, spring provides unparalleled views of the region. Summers are characterized by heavy rainfall, posing risks of avalanches and landslides, while winters bring frigid temperatures and closed tea houses. Therefore, autumn and spring stand out as the prime seasons for Tent Peak Climbing.
